It rained heavily all day and all night, and it stopped only early this morning. Read the book
Ren Qiang and others didn't sleep all night. Two search teams searched meter by meter from the bank of Bailan River where the body was found to the upstream sides.
The body was in a state of active decomposition when it was found, which means that the victim did not sink into the river immediately after being killed.
Otherwise, the body would not rot at all.
According to the analysis of the situation at the scene, the body was probably washed into the Bailan River by heavy rains and then washed to the shore and was found.
If this is the case, then where is the first place where the body enters the river?
It is certain to be somewhere upstream of the Bailan River, and it shouldn't be too far away.
Otherwise, if the corpse had been soaked in the river for a long time, the maggots in the corpse might have been washed away.
On a stormy night, the search progress was very difficult.
Progress was also slow, and if it hadn't rained, there would have been some traces near the rotting bodies.
And it should be easier to detect, such as corpse odor.
However, due to the heavy rain, the odor of corpses and the remaining maggots, it is difficult to find traces.
"Brother Hui, it's been a whole night and I haven't found anything. Are you still looking for it?"
While Lu Chuan was picking up forensic doctor Shen, Zhang Hui was still searching on the left bank of Bailan River.
After the heavy rain, both sides of the river were muddy and the temperature was relatively low. In addition, without eating all night, everyone was very tired.
What came over the intercom was the search team on the right bank.
Zhang Hui looked ahead. It had just dawned. It had rained but it was not clear yet.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds.
Looking back, Zhang Hui looked at the time on his phone: "How far have we searched?"
"It's about three kilometers."
The current location of Zhang Hui and others is already three kilometers away from the place where the body was found.
In the distance, almost one kilometer away is the fork of the Bailan River. If it is not found somewhere, double the manpower will have to be deployed.
But it’s not certain whether anything can be discovered.
In the past three kilometers, the two search teams used the shore as the boundary, extending an area of 20 meters, searching one meter at a time.
It can be said that it was carried out in a carpet search. If the body was washed into the river within this range, even heavy rain would leave some traces. Based on the experience of Zhang Hui and others, it should not be undiscovered.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hui turned on the intercom: "Search for the fork in front of the river first. If you haven't found it yet...then ask for instructions."
"receive!"
The search continues, but everyone has a target in mind, Hecha... is less than a kilometer away.
It's daytime now, so the search can be completed in two hours.
"Brother Hui! I made a discovery!"
Less than five minutes after the call, the head of the search team on the right bank shouted directly!
"What did you find?"
"shoe!"
"The shoes were not found on the body!"
Half an hour later, Zhang Hui took a car and moved to the opposite side of Bailan River.
In the grass nest, half of the shoe was exposed, and the tip of the shoe was stuck upside down in the water.
"Have you ever touched it?"
"No, no, I'll call you as soon as I find out."
Zhang Hui stepped forward and observed carefully.
The shoes were canvas, Jai Alai brand, the same brand and color as the left shoe found on the body.
There are brown marks remaining on the inner edge, and it is not yet clear whether they are blood stains.
"Pack it up and send it to the site survey office."
Zhang Hui stood up and pointed around, his eyes full of excitement: "The shoe on the right foot of the corpse was found here, which means that the corpse was probably washed into the river nearby. Let's focus on this place, search carefully, and pay attention. Don’t destroy the scene!”
The right shoe of the corpse was missing, or it was accidentally washed away by the water after the corpse was washed into the river, and then it was buried here.
washed ashore.
However, it was found that the shoes were located about ten meters away from the shore, so the possibility of being washed up was relatively small.
Another possibility is that the body was nearby and was washed into the river by the heavy rain, and the shoes were left behind in the wash.
With a goal in mind, everyone works extra hard.
Not caring about their hungry stomachs after not eating all night, they searched every inch of the surrounding area with red eyes.
"Brother Hui! Here!"
In less than three minutes, good news came from the edge of the bushes from the shore.
Zhang Hui ran all the way over.
At 12:30 in the morning, the criminal investigation detachment conference room.
"At the first place where the murderer dumped the body, we found the body's missing Jai-alai sneaker on its right foot."
Zhang Hui is making relevant situation reports.
"This is the geographical map of the first place where the murderer dumped his body."
In the morning, Zhang Hui and others discovered the first place where the murderer dumped his body on the right bank less than a kilometer away from the fork of Bailan River.
"This is a wild bush, seventeen meters away from the river."
"This is where the shoes were found, ten meters from the river."
"Although the bushes are not high, they are quite dense. I asked the villagers living nearby and no one usually comes here."
The corpse was rotting in the bushes, and the smell of corpse was already very strong.
But because there were no residents nearby and it was almost a kilometer away from the road, no one noticed it.
"But there is a problem. The bushes are located higher than the river embankment. Although there was heavy rain yesterday, the river water did not invade this area."
Qin Yong listened carefully to Zhang Hui's report: "You mean... the body was not washed into the river by the rain?"
"No, we conducted a detailed simulation of the scene. Unless the water level of Bailan River surged by more than half a meter, the bodies would not be washed away at all."
"Moreover, Captain Qin, look here. The toes of the missing shoes were stuck in the grass nest. When they were found, the toes were facing the river embankment."
"After we drained the water from the grass nest, we found drag marks."
On the projection, it is the grass nest where the shoes were found. Although the soil is soaked by the rain, the traces of dragging are still vaguely discernible.
"What do you mean?"
"We suspect that the body was thrown into the river intentionally."
Zhang Hui’s judgment is terrifying to think about!
The body rotted in the bushes and was later thrown into the river. There were also sharp knives and weapons where the body was found!
What does the murderer want to do?
It's so confusing that Qin Yong has never seen it before in his long career as a police officer.
"How's the autopsy going?"
Wang Changjiang straightened up slightly: "The autopsy has been completed. Let me tell you the basic situation."
"The deceased was a female, 1.59 meters tall, weighing 50 kilograms, aged between 25 and 30 years old."
"The cause of death was cardiac hemorrhagic shock caused by sharp instrument puncture."
"Because the body was highly decomposed and was already in a period of active decomposition when it was discovered, the time of death is not accurate enough. Based on the recent weather conditions in Haizhou City, the initial estimate is about a month."
The forensic analysis of the body found no special results.
